An architectural retreat shaped by Patagonia on the shores of Lago General Carrera — designed for deep nature immersion and total disconnection along the Carretera Austral.
Set on the shores of the immense Lago General Carrera in the heart of Chilean Patagonia, Bahia Murta House is surrounded by majestic mountains, ancient forests and crystalline waters where time seems to stand still. The house is accessed directly via the legendary Ruta 7 (Carretera Austral), one of the most scenic roads on Earth.
Its privileged lakefront position makes it a natural base for exploring the region's most iconic destinations — from the Marble Caves (Capillas de Mármol) in nearby Puerto Río Tranquilo to the vast steppe and ancient forests of Patagonia National Park, just 240 km south. The dramatic peaks of Cerro Castillo National Park and the turquoise waters of the Baker River region are also within reach.
Despite its remote setting in the Aysén Region, the house offers the full comforts of a true home — a private retreat for up to 10 guests with wood-burning heating, a fully equipped kitchen and an open-plan design conceived around the austral light, inviting rest, reading and reconnection with the simple things.
